The reading and the lecture are about a theory which involves the discovery of very old fossil structures that presumably belong to bees. The author in the article believes that these structures cannot resemble bee nests and also provides some arguments for supporting it. However, the lecturer casts doubt on claims made by the author. She thinks that the evidence presented in the article is not certain.
First, the author claims that there is no evidence of fossil remains of bee nests from 200-million-year-old. In the article is stated that the earliest remains of actual bees come from 100 million years old. Therefore, it seems unlike bees existed before this time. Nevertheless, this idea is challenged by the lecturer who states that the fact that there are no remains of bees in this time, does not mean that bees could exist before 100 million years ago.
Second, the article posits that the absence of flowering plants casts doubt that bees existed 200 million years ago. Due to there is a strong relationship between bees and flowers, it is unlike that these fossil remains resemble bee nests. Nonetheless, the lecturer refutes this hypothesis by clarifying that evolution may have played an important role in this. Furthermore, she points out that bees could take advantage of another type of plant and when flowers appeared, bees adapted to this new plant.
Finally, the article mentions that fossilized chambers discovered do not fit with modern chambers of bees. The author explains that unlike actual chambers, these chambers lack caps in their structures. The lecturer, on the other hand, put forth the idea that these structures present a chemical composition for preventing chambers from water which is the same product that modern bees use for protecting their buildings. Therefore she confirms that these structures were made by bees.
